The comic reminds me of an exchange from Gravity Falls:
Mabel: What is the one thing I asked you not to do?
Dipper: Raise the dead.
Mabel: And what did you do?
Dipper: Raise the dead.
I wonder if these zombies can be killed with perfect 3-part harmony.
Context – In D&D lore, most living creatures are animated by “Positive Energy,” while the Undead generally rely on “Negative Energy.” What heals one often harms the other. This allows one, for example, to literally “heal” the undead to death.
If you don’t mind hearing your allies whine about their missing blood, that is.
“Realistically” (asterisk) there would be an effectively infinite range of possibilities, given how little we know of how Stonecraft (and the Healstone/Gravestone/Livingstone in particular) actually work.
For example: does the gravestone animate and “awaken” the corpse itself, or does it emulate-or-whatever the mind and move the corpse via some form of specialized telekinesis, like a glorified puppet? Would the Healstone recognize the Gravestone rocker as alive, wounded, or an inanimate object? Does the Healstone replenish vital life energies, or “transmute” torn flesh and splintered bone back together? Do the Gravestone and Livingstone function in even remotely the same way?
Simply put, it quickly becomes on of those “Insufficient Data” scenarios that would have to be properly tested… and that’s assuming anyone would even think to do so. John and Dr. Simon are the only ones who even might think of D&D’s positive/negative energy system, and even that’s assuming that Thunderhead doesn’t just sunder the Livingstone when this incident is resolved.
I doubt it. Since the Endstone negates nearby Stonecraft, it would logically do the same to Megarek’s amplification ability. Even if Megarek were hypothetically powerful enough to resist the Endstone’s effects, the Endstone’s very nature precludes it being used in conjunction with other Overstones.
Besides which, we can just say “Simon would probably have tried that during one of his many ‘reboot the universe’ attempts” and move on. He… probablyknew about Megarek, right?
It just came to me that the number of dead is going to be rather large, especially if it includes those from the reality before the current one. Well, Tony will be busy drawing all of them for a few years. 😉 Some might want to go after the former CFO.
Yes I will be drawing them for several years! And to be honest, I wish I chose to do a story featuring one villain and one main character— so much easier to draw. 🙂
I know that coloring takes a lot of work. The following tool might make it possible to transfer your colors from one version to another. This is new research. I don’t know if it works when more than one figure is in the frame or how it works on backgrounds.
That’s one wild party going on…
Yes! And where’s Michael Jackson when you need him? 🙂
Back to back
belly to belly
we don’t give a damn
we’re done dead already
back to back
belly to belly
it’s a zombie jamboree
Love this! My dad was a big Kingston Trio fan and I still have their version of this song in my music collection. 🙂

LOL. We’ll find out about the harmony, my friend. 🙂
So she turns from grievingmother to full necromancer now ? Not exactly the best way to make buddy with the guys that have the stone you seek, lady…
Good point. 🙂 Maybe Ophelia is past the point of friendship…
Where’s that guy with the chainsaw hand when you need him? (Probably passed out drunk in his trailer)
🙂
Whelp, time to start spamming the high-level AoE healing spells. Where’s Gog with the Healstone when you need him?

That’s an interesting idea I haven’t considered: The Healstone can cause damage to the undead. Hmmmm…..

The big question is: Endstone + Megarek = end of all stone magic?
I doubt it. Since the Endstone negates nearby Stonecraft, it would logically do the same to Megarek’s amplification ability. Even if Megarek were hypothetically powerful enough to resist the Endstone’s effects, the Endstone’s very nature precludes it being used in conjunction with other Overstones.

And now the undead army is raised…
You knew it was coming…. 🙂
